How was the Election 2000 Internet Library made?
Several lists of sites known to carry election content were identified and later crawled by Compaq Computer Corporation crawlers. Compaq continued to crawl, adding more sites to the list as requested, through the Fall and Winter of 2000 and into January of 2001. By the end of January, Compaq had gathered approximately two terabytes of content. The remaining content was placed on a large capacity server at Alexa Internet where it was indexed and catalogued.
